The pony Emma, dearly loved by Queen Elizabeth II, has received a special award.
The trade journal "Horse & Hound" named the horse the "Horse of a Lifetime", i.e. the "horse of a lifetime", as the BBC reported on Friday.
The prize was handed over with a bag of carrots, it said.
At the funeral procession for the Queen, who died in September at the age of 96, the black fur pony stood on the edge of the procession route in Windsor - the monarch's saddle pad and her headscarf on her back.
The Queen's head of stud for decades, Terry Pendry, told the BBC: "Her Majesty adored Emma.
She is easy to ride and safe in step.
And Emma always liked to enjoy a carrot from a brown paper bag after a ride.” Emma – whose full name is Carltonlima Emma – was at the Queen's side in Windsor's Great Park for around 15 years.
According to the report, the last trip together took place last July.
